Novak Djokovic is on the cusp of becoming the best men’s tennis player in the history of the sport. In less than a week, he should be attempting to land a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam men's singles victory at the Australian Open. But the Australian immigration minister has the power to revoke the Serbian’s visa due to his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Sorcha Pollak talks to Irish Times sports writer Johnny Watterson and Laura Slattery, Irish Times business journalist and tennis fan, about a very strange week in the world of tennis.
Produced by Jennifer Ryan, Declan Conlon and Suzanne Brennan.
